Wie hier geschildert wird, wie mit Menschen umgegangen wird als seien sie Vieh oder Abfall ist auf erschreckend eindringliche Weise geschildert. Ich will gar nicht viel mehr darüber schreiben, denn der Film ist hinreichend bekannt.

Für mich hat Kunst unter anderem die Funktion dem Leser / Zuseher /Hörer  Erfahrungen zu vermitteln, die er selber nicht machen kann. Mit zwei Filmen ist das Spielberg auf geradezu kongeniale Weise gelungen: "Schindlers Liste" und "Der Soldat James Ryan" . Wer Schindlers Liste gesehen hat war in einem Konzentrationslager und wer "Soldat James Ryan" gesehen hat war auf einem Schlachtfeld und im zweiten Weltkrieg. Beide Erfahrungen sind nicht angenehm aber sehr wichtig, damit sich solche Ereignisse nicht wiederholen.

There's going to be a new Dragonball Movie next summer..! Though one shouldn't be too excited. Infact, one should be horribly worried...

Everyone loves Dragonball! For sure they do! Even though it had finished nearly 10 years ago, it will remain in everyone's hearts for the rest of their lives for sure.

However, even though Dragonball is mightily awesome to the extreme, when I first heard about this film I feared for the worst. That is because, the film is swapping animation for actual human actors. Yes. You heard. When I saw some filming images, I laughed. When I saw Piccolo, I cried.

Am sorry to say but even though we've always wonderred what a human dragonball film would look like (face it we've all dreamt it, like with Pókemon) I believe these dreams should always remain dreams and never cross into the reality...

I sense reviews similar to that of the Street Fighter movie of 1993?

Peab märkima, et esimene film "Jalgpallipäevad" oli küll täna äärmiselt hea. Kuigi tegemist oli juba iseenesest komöödiaga, tegi filmi veel lõbusamaks vein, mida avamisele tulnud kinokülastajatele pakuti ^^. NB! ja mitte mingitest plastmasstopsikutest, vaid korralikest pokaalidest. Mis näitab seda, et Hispaania suursaatkond, kes filminädala korraldamist toetab, on oma osa tõsiselt võtnud.

Tänane film oli tasuta, tulevaste kohta ei oska öelda.

Batman Begins (2005)

Directed by Christopher Nolan

Starring Christian Bale

This is the best Batman movie to date.  Bale does a great job as Bruce Wayne/Batman.  Not only is it starring Bale, but joining him are Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman.  Oh, and there's some Morgan Freeman in there as well.  The movie is full of action and the story is amazing.  This new Batman movie takes the story back to the origin of Batman's creation.  I can't wait until the sequel The Dark Knight, due to hit theaters in July.

A Review

Themes And Variation

The Tarzan Novels Of Edgar Rice Burroughs

#18  Tarzan And The Lion Man

Part 3 of 10 parts

by

R.E. Prindle

Part 3: The Source

     Unlike the rest of Burroughs' novels you don't have to look very far for the main source of this one.  While Tarzan And  The Leopard Men was heavily influenced by the MGM movie Trader Horn Lion Man is the story of the famed MGM expedition to Africa to film it.

     In Chapter 1 ERB have a fictional account of the decision to make the expedition.  In the next few chapters he gives a fictinal account of the safari.  Excising the story within the story Burroughs' account is reasonably accurate, allowing for a little authorial license that is.

     The safare was active for seven months in 1929.  The safari was a cause celebre in Hollywood as thee expedition ran up what were enormous costs for the time.  While they were iin Africa Black Friday, the collapse of the stock marked occured plunging the nation into depression so that money became of more consequence to MGM.  There was speculation that the dirctor, W.S. Van Dyke would bankrupt the company.  Like Howard Hughes' famous difficulties with Hell's Angels of 1930 the bills kept rolling in but when the receipts were counted like Hughes' movie there was a tidy profit left over.  If nothing else the hullabaloo was mere advance publicity and cheap at the price.

     MGM even liked the movie so much they did it again in 1953's Mogambo.  While I see Mogambo as a remake of Trader Horn the movie site' lists its antecedents as Red Dust, 1932 and Congo Maisiie of 1940.  Haven't seen either. 

     The 1929 expedition was incredibly audacious.  On the liner notes of my VCR copy of Trader Horn MGM describes the expedition like this:

     When this landmark film ws made, parts of Africa were still uncharted.  the savannahs teemed with big game, the rivers with crocodiles and snakes.  Few Europeans or Americans dared enter what was then called the Congo.

     That was true and still is, MGM rushed in where few Europeans and Americans dared to tread.  Africa was to transit from the stone age to the age of science in the blink of an eye.  As Van Dyke noted, barely pacified, already the Kikiyu or Jukuas as Van Dyke called them were organizing resistance.  A mere savage like Jomo Kenyatta was attending Oxford University in England.  Truly astonishing that a stone age African with no familiarity with either techonology or science could be listened to attentively by the most highly educated Europeans.  What could Kenyatta actually understand?  Would they have given equal attention to the mutterings of an Appalachian farm boy?  The mind boggles.

     It had been a mere forty years since Henry Morton Stanley had covered the same ground to relieve Emin Pasha.  Only Forty years earlier Stanley had been the first Euro-American to penetrate the Ituri Rain Forest  Only forty years earlier Stanley could claim the discoveryof the fable Mountains Of The Moon.  In the interim few Euro-Americans had been there.  Gosh, even the great beast the Okapi had just been discovered.

     Kampala and Entebbe in Uganda were now occupied by British governors.  the ancient kings of Uganda and Unyoro were no more.  As Van Dyke states, the Africans were held down by the few Europeans with an Iron Hand.  Ah, you say, the European Iron hand.  Abominable.  But when weren't the African tribesmen held down by an Iron Hand.  But then it was Black or Moslem and not White.  The venerable ancient kings of Uganda wanted to hold a funeral for some distant relative during the time of Stanley so they selected a couple thousand Ugandans, slit their throats and dumped them in the grave as company for their dead relative.  The Ugandan king slaughtered a few of his own people in an attempt to amuse Stanley.  TV had reached Uganda back then.

     King Mteses' gangs roamed the countryside after dark murdering any citizens they met.  Well, that was normal.  Now White Bwanas arrested troublesome tribesmen and threw them in jail for a period rather than killing them.  That wasn't normal.  Dead men file no complaints.

     So a benign rule in White hands was less desirable than a malign rule in Black hands.  Such is the way the human mind works.  In the African case thenative king owns everything including oneself and that is acceptable.  In another invaders occupy a few thousand acres producing food that makes you better fed than ever you were onl your own and that is bad.  Better savagery among equals than civilization as an inferior.

     Africa was not yet familiar with the wheel when a guy with the nickname 'Woody' shows up with nine-ton genearator trucks.  Sound trucks!  The talkies had been around only two years and they already had sound trucks.

     Van Dyke in his justification of himself to MGM in his Horning  Into Africa has this to say.  p. 212:

    On the screen we had over thirty-five varieties of African big game, with our actors working in the scenes with them.  We had the dances, the songs, the native life of over fifteen African tribves, and on our film was a thin dark strip running down the edge which constituted the sound they made in all their different activities.

     ...on our film we had a thin dark strip running down the edge which constituted the sound they made in all their different activities....  Think of it.  Stone age Africans captured as stone age people by equipment of which the Africans could have no concept, no possible way of accounting for it, let alone understanding it, that might have as well have been the work of aliens beamed down from outer space or one of Bertie Well' visitors slipped through the plane of a parallel universe.  Was ther any difference between Wells' English visitors to his utopia of 1923 when he viewed the men of a parallel universe as gods and the Hollywood Mutia and Riano saw when transported from or 'beamed' from Africa?  Not much I would say.

     If the Africans thought Henry Morton Stanley was supernatural what in the world did they think of Woody Van Dyke, his cameras and fleet of trucks.

     What did Van Dyke think, talk about, such an excellent adventure?  p. 26:

I did not realize what he meant by the adjective "amazing".  It made me think of certain American film producers.  the only thing about it that had been amazing, to my mind, was its inception.  After all, for a Hollywood producer (Irving Thalberg) to conceive the idea of sending twenty-five or thirty Hollywood motion picture actors with ninety-two tons of equipment into the center of Africa, to go prancing around over the thorn bush terrain, considering the great cost in dollars and cents involved was a rather amazing idea.  Nobody but an adventurer would have thought of it, no one but a goof would have tried to do it, and no but a clown could have gotten away with it.

     Van Dyke considering the term 'amazing' further:

     Previous to our debut the largest safari to enter Africa had been that of Prince Edward, a stupendous undertaking with about a dozen whites, fifty blacks, ten or twelve cars, and possibly seven or eight tons of equipment.  His safari had not been underway many days when his Royal Highness was called hom by the illness of his fathr, King George, butr the fact that the white hunters had maneuvered such a large safari over several miles of Africa without a casualty and with no one dying from fever was considered remarkable.

     We had been in Africa more than seven months with thirty-five whites, one hundred ninety-two blacks, thirty-four cars, one generator truck and two sound wagons.  The speedometers on the cars showed that we had traveled over nine thousand miles of African soil, to say nothing of rail, lake and river travel and distances covered on foote, and we had brought everyone back- black and white.

     And furthermore they not only had it on a film strip, which was old technology by white standards but unimaginable by African standards and running down that strip of film was a thin black line indicating sound.  What would a stone age African think seeing and hearing himself on film going around and around on reels like wheels which in themselves had been but recently seen in Africa.  Jomo Kenyatta was at university in England.  they would have laughed at that Appalachian farm boy if he showed up for registration.

     So, MGM and Van Dyke provided ERB with a readymade story of epic proportions.

     We know he read the book.  The question is did Van Dyke regale him with other stories and details during ERB's five week stint on the MGM lot, a little additional color not found in the book.

     Now we can turn to Burroughs' story and align it with that of Van Dyke.  ERB is writing a novel so he doesn't have to stay too close to the facts, he can play fast and loose with them.  Let's see how he does.

     In the first place he converts the story from that of Trader Horn to Tarzan, The Ape Man.  Rather than filming Trader Horn they are filming the story of aferal boy who was raised among the lions.  p. 9

     "Joe's written a great story- it's going to be a knock-out.  You see this fellow's born in the jungle and brought up by a lioness.  He pals around with the lions all his life- doesn't know any other friends.  The lion is king of beasts; when the boy frows up he's king of the lions; so he bosses the whole menagerie.  See?  Big shot of the jungle."

     "Sounds familiar."  Commented Orman.

     Yes, it does sound familiar, ERB says with tongue in cheek and a wink at we readers.  It sounds familiar to us too.  As the Lion Man the studio has picked Stanley Obroski, a giant cowardly fellow.

     As Harry Carey, a bete noire of ERB, played Trader Horn Burroughs may be projecting a little Carey into Obroski's cowardice as vengeance although one assumes that Johnny Weissmuller is the model but Obroski isn't that similar to him either.

     As a leading lady ERB creates Naomi Madison.  I'm sure there are a lot of insults and jokes about MGM in the book.  A lot of most of them may be lost on us today.  However Naomi may have been modeled on Irving Thalberg's wife Norma Shearer.  Naomi=Norma.

     Some say Shearer made it on her own while there are those backbiters who say she got all those plum roles because she was married to the producer, Irving Thalberg.  In'n not too hep on early thirties films but is possible a little favoritism may have been involved.  In the novel Burroughs casts Naomi in a rather unfavorable light as the lover of Director Orman.  Perhaps Thalberg saws such things in a negative light.

     It may be possible that Shearer was or was reported to be seeing someone on the side.  If s, ERB was taking some chances.

     He does have her down as having been a hash slinger before becoming The Madison.  There was a period in New York when the Shearer family was down at the heels when Norma was seeking theatrical work that she probably waited tables.  Bringing up that fact would not have endeared ERB to the Thalberg's at MGM.  Norma would probably have been more dangerous than Irving.

     The Thalbergs wouldn't have mattered too much because Irving had a heart attack in 1933.  When he returned to work several months later Mayer had stripped him of position.  He became just another producer for a couple years before he died in 1936.  Shearer got no more roles, plums or otherwise.  So as it turned out ERB wouldn't have had to worry about either.

     ERB doubles Naomi with a stunt woman named Rhonda Terry.  As no comparable figure was on the safarie she must have been only necessary for the story.

     Van Dyke organized and led the xpedition being the supreme authority, the actual Big Bwana.  As might be expected of a safari of this size and complexity there were numerous problems naturally occurrring while Vand Dyke himself as a Hollywood director trying to realize his vision of the movie was rather cavalier with the landscape.  The native hierarchy was in disarray from the time of Stanley now having a Birtish hierarchy overlain on the native.  But the British had only been there for a couple decades while the native revolt led by Kenyatta dn his Kikiyu was already underway.  As Burroughs indicates Leopard Men were roaming Africa while the Kikiyu would erupt as the Mau Mau only twenty years hence.

     The African chiefs considered every human, every animal, every stick or tree on their territory as their personal private property.  there hadn't been enough time as yet for that understanding to die out.  And now we have a real muilti-cultural conflict brewing.  Van Dyke shows up with a fleet of cars and trucks such as was new to the sight of the Africans.  Van Dyke proceeds to drive these trucks all over Kenya, Uganda, the Congo and Tanganyika as they were then known.  Along the way he chops down trees that don't belong to him, if you see what I mean, as though he was the sovereign of the land and not the chiefs.

     From the African point of view the man was contemptuous of Africans and disrectful.  Van Dyke, in what we must assume was his innocence, was completely unaware of his desecrations.  His culture was not only White American, which would have been insult enough to the Africans, but he was of the fiilm capitol of the world, Hollywood, which respects no man or mountain in making a movie.  Van Dyke's mind functioned on one premise alone- make this movie.

     At one point he wanted to shoot a scene near Lake Albert, probably didn't even make the final cut.  At that point of the lake a volcanic dyke serveral feet high formed a barrier preventing access.  There was no way to get thier trucks and equipment over the barrier.   The solution seemed rational to Van Dyke.  When no one was looking he got some dynamite and blew a big hole in this barrier.  Problem solved from Woody's point of view.  I don't know what the Africans thought about this desecration of landscape but Van Dyke does report what seems to be a fair amount of unrest among the African bearers.

     In Burroughs' story the movie company goes directly to the Ituri Rain Forest but Van Dyke began his filming at Murchison Falls and Nile flows from Lake Victoria.  After having brought his crew and equipment to the railhead at Jinja he crossed the lake to Kampala and Entebbe in Uganda.

     He wanted to film at Murchison Falls where, as he says, the entire flood of the Nile passing from Lake Victoria passes through a gorge only fifteen feet wide.  As he said a good broad jumper could leap the Nile at that point.  If he wanted to take the chance.

     Now, the British had determined the area at the foot of the falls so infested with the sleeping sickness bearing Tsetse fly that they had made it off limits to man and beast.  Well, Woody had a movie to make and wanted to make it in that exact spot.  In fact several scenes in Trader Horn are filmed there.

     Disregarding what we must assume were the real dangers of the place Van Dyke cajoled an exception for this safari taking his cast and bearers into this Tsetse infested area.  It will be remembered that Edwina Booth, the female star, was incapacitated for life because of diseases contracted in Africa.

     What seems normal to a movie maker may seem bizarre to a less interested observer.  Van Dyke wanted a crocodile scene involving an island.  There was no island where he wanted so he loaded the spot with fill until there was one.  Another neat job of problem solving.  Then he wanted a large nuber of crocodiles around the island so he slaughered game as lure for the crocs.  They came, they saw, the ate, but they wouldn't spend the nighta s Woody wanted.

     So now Woody shoots some more wild life to lure the crocs to the island while he built a large barrier.  Once the crocs were within he closed the gatge.  Well and good from Woody's point of view but from the multi-cultural point of view of the crocs they either just broke through or climbed the six foot barrier.  Wasn't high enough.

     W.S. Van Dyke was one determined guy.  He had a movie to make.  His next step was once the crocs got inside and they wanted out at, oh say, 2:00 AM, Woody got his whole crew of actors armed with torches and poles to place themselves between the crocs and freedom to force them to stay inside.  In a quite thrilling description he tells of stuffing burning torches down the throats of crocodiles.  When he said stay, he meant it.  Harry Carey, apparently some sort of testosterone driven madman, was a stalwart but Van Dyke even had Edwin Booth on the barrier torch in hand.  Van Dyke lauds his crew as well he should have but one is struck by a certain degree of lunacy.  Or, perhaps, Scotch.

     Burroughs draws inference away from Van Dyke by making Tom Orman a different physical type but as ERB was working from Van Dyke's Horning Into Africa and possibly personal communication from Van Dyke, or member of his crew it is impossible for Orman not to reflect W.W. 'One Shot' Woody Van Dyke.

     Burroughs makes Orman a drunk or at least a real tyrant when he ahs been drinking.  Van Dyke records some heavy drinking of his own.  He slipped right into the colonial practice of'Sundowners', that is when the sun went down the bottle came out.  There may be some factual basis then for Orman's behavior.

     Orman heads for the Ituri through an area he has been wrned not to go that would correspond to Van Dyke's insistence on filming at the Murchison Falls where he ws forbidden to go but overcame the injunction.

     The attack of the Bansutos is ERB's invention however there were a couple serious native disaffections in the safari.  Late in the expedition the Kikiyu show up, which I would think meant that they were unhappy with the expedition while Van Dyke describes them as a surly lot.

     In Burroughs' story the safari falls apart after the Bansuto attack but then at the end of the story he reforms the safari at the Omwami Falls in the story or Murchison Falls in fact.  the party atmosphere at the Falls may reflect his impression of Van Dyke's account.

     It was probably with a sigh of relief that the British bid farewell to this troublemaking Hollywood film crew.  Or perhaps, just perhaps, they wired MGM to get these people out of here.  I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised.

     So far as I know the only two accounts of Van Dyke's excellent African adventur are his own and that of Burroughs.

     It is a pity MGM didn't have the foresight to comple an extended account of the safari with hundreds of pictures.  In the liner notes to my VCR copy they say:

...director W.S. Van Dyke and his heroic cast and crew camped there for a year, hauling eighty tons of equipment through the equatorial jungle.  They battled disease and predators, to risk their lives to film this story of two men- legendary trader Alfred Aloysius Horn (Harry Carey) and his naive protoge Pero (Cisco Kid Duncan Renaldo)- and their struggle to reclaim a beautiful woman (Edwina Booth) who was lost in the jungle as a baby and raised by indigenous tribes.

     True enough as far as it goes.  Van Dyke's obviously sanitaized narrative takes it a little further, Burroughs' fiction may reveal a little more, but Edwina Booth who was never able to work again adds another detail.  She petitioned MGM for compensation but MGM refused to consider it for this heroic, crocodile battling member of the cast who battled predators and disease and lost.

     What a fabuouls story.  ERB had a lot to work with and turned out a fabulous effort.

Before I get into my letter, I'd just like to point out that you got the wrong meaning of the word parenthesis. A parenthesis is a "-", surrounding a clause. I.E. I really like chocolate - obviously, who doesn't - and eggs. The words in the brackets, as you meant to say, were meant to be thoughts displayed by the character at the time. It's a commonly used technique, it keeps up pace.

ANYWAYZ.

I had to go on a one and a half hour journey to the middle of London to get my teeth checked up on, for braces, which I am now getting in June. BOO. I missed a frickload of school though, which was greaaaat.

It's been absolutely freezing cold in recent days. It went form like four hundred degrees to eighteen in the space of two days. I'm shivering here. MY FINGERS HURT FROM COLD.

Apparently when I was at the orthodontist today, some random tramp ran into our school and started chasing some boys up the stairs. He then proceeded to hug one of my friends, give another boy in my year some cigarettes (which he described as, "really cool. What a legend!") and then walked outside, mooned everyone and did a poo on the pavement.

What baffles me is why no one called the police. I can think of at least three offences there:

• Entering private property without permission
• Indecent exposure
• Indecent behaviour

Sometimes my knowledge of the judicial system is too fantastic.

Responding to something you said about three days ago:

YOUVE NEVER HEARD OF DONNIE DARKO? SERIOUSLY? Sometimes I say stuff to you and you act as if you've been living under a rock. DONNIE DARKO? How have you not heard of that film. It's like the favourite film of anyone who wants to be slightly individualist.

Anyway:

Something else happened at school today. A boy got suspended for leaving a horrible facebook honesty box message to someone else. It went something like this:

you fucking gay jew. why don't you fuck off and die. no one would care

But it was like an essay, and was really horrible and nasty. The boy's dad called the police, who told the school etc. It got me scared that the boy I left a kinda nasty, more mocking than actually mean, message to someone - but then I realised, he's not enough of a wimp to do that - and has a pair of balls (oops! I went there!)

I'm considering starting a new blog, where I post about the random crazy shit that happens on the bus to me, but I've decided I'll make it a segment on this blog. It's nameless at the moment, so I'm just going to call it

NAMELESS!

Anyway, every time something weird, or someone weird, happens, I'll list it on the blog - along with a number. I'll tag the posts with numbers in them - so people can see if they give a crap. Today, I have two numbers to report (my first two)

#1

Random man, standing at the bus stop drinking shots of Chivas Regal. At eleven A.M.

#2

Man sitting at the back of the bus saying the following to his friend (whether he is insane, or was on the phone is beyond me, but it is still slightly odd)

Take off your shirt! You need to work them hips more. I like shavvved pussy!

And then he bought a porn magazine.

So that's that, fascinating stuff, huh? (When I first wrote, fascinating, I said out loud: "FASKINATING!")

God, this half of the letter is written TWO HOURS later. I left my computer on and forgot to finish.

Which reminds me - I have no idea what job I want to pursue when I grow up. Like, no idea - whatsoever. I don't even have an inkling. Well, of course I have my dream job - but it's never going to happen. I can just see myself ending up making CDs for a living. *cryfaec*

I've had a sudden craving for food Carla, and my word count was up to 666 at last checking! How awesome is that? 

I have a memorial for my Grandma tomorrow, it's going to be a little thing where we make speeches and say how awesome she was. I'm kind of dreading it, but I don't know why. Maybe it's a deep rooted need to say goodbye? Who knows?

Lots of love,

Your hungry for CHICKEN friend,

Ben.

P.S BLANK

P.P.S Please kill Adela, I hate her.

P.P.P.S They reached the village in a matter of seconds. The air was thick with smoke, and the whole place reeked of blood. It was a metallic, sickening smell that made Carla retch. The worse had not come though. As they proceeded through the village, bodies lay scattered about. Some had their skin peeled, so only the muscle underneath showed, like the underside of a grape. Others were burnt, and blackened as if they had been torched in some demonic fire.

The basic huts which the villagers must have lived in were destroyed, crumbling to the ground after the rampage. Adela's eyes widened.

"That's the storage hut!" she yelled, forgetting the scene they were standing in. 

"And...?" Carla asked, her eyes closed.

"That's where they keep It's creator. In there," she continued, "is who made It!"

Carla could not stand it any longer. She leaned to the left, and vomited on the blackened remains of a woman.

"Flammen og Citronen" handler om to modstandsfolk der bliver fanget i et spil mellem sandhed og løgn. De finder ud af, at det er svært at vide hvad der er rigtigt og forkert - især midt i en krig. Man har satset på historisk præcision, og der er mange flotte billeder af København, som den engang så ud.

Jeg er normalt ikke ret meget til danske film, og denne hjalp nok ikke på den aversion. hvad der kunne være blevet action-mættede og spændingsfylde 1½ time, er i stedet blevet til to timer og femten minutters "dramatisk" danmarkshistorie. Der er tale om en stor produktion, det er der ingen tvivl om. Der er ikke sparet på noget når det kommer til effekter. Heller ikke når det drejer sig om special effects og computergrafik. Gode skuespillere er der også, selv i birollerne.

Alligevel bliver filmen helt ekstremt lang. Og jeg mener EKSTREMT lang. Scener som kun behøvede et par sekunder af vores opmærksomhed, bliver hele tiden trukket ud til to eller tre minutter. Derudover springer handlingen fra situation til situation. Det er som en række stillbilleder, der er flettet sammen til en lang - usammenhængende - fortælling. For første gang i mange år, tog jeg mig selv i at gabe i biografen. Ja, jeg gabte. Dem der har set filmen "Amadeus" ved hvad det betyder, når publikum gaber under en forestilling - det er ikke godt!

Jeg vil med andre ord ikke ligefrem anbefale filmen. Historien er bare ikke interessant nok, eller også er den bare fortalt for dårligt. Vil man derimod se hvad dansk film har opnået på det tekniske område, er "Flammen og Citronen" værd at kaste et blik på. På den front kan Nimbus efterhånden følge med flere af de store Hollywood selskaber.

TorinoFilmLab is a new, year-round, international laboratory that supports emerging talents from all over the world working on their first and second feature films, through training, development and funding activities. Linked to the Torino Film Festival, TorinoFilmLab is promoted by the main film institutions established within Torino and Piedmont - Museo Nazionale del Cinema and Film Commission Torino Piemonte - in close partnership with the advanced Script&Pitch Workshops training course supported by the EU MEDIA Programme.

Dette programmet brukte min basisgruppe sist praksisperiode, på 7.trinn. Temaet var verdensgeografi. Elevene jobbet med hvert sitt land. De fant bilder og fakta, og lagde manus for innlesingen.

Resultatet ble en hjemmeside som samler alle photostoryene elevene lagde, og denne kan brukes som et læremiddel av andre elever. De fleste elevene var positive og motiverte, og de syntes det var en morsom måte å jobbe på. De syntes de hadde lært mye.

Photo Story 3 er enkelt å forstå, og man setter seg fort inn i det ved egen hjelp. Anbefales!
